Explain why the North won the Civil War Under what conditions could the South have won?

One of the biggest factors was infrastructure. The north had most of the manufacturing facilities while the south was mostly agricultural. Had the south bolstered their ability to manufacture wartime goods before the split they may have had a better chance. This is however just one of many factors. The south was doomed in that they didn't have as large or well trained navy, less diplomatic ties, and few allies.


How did the losses of soldiers compare between the North and the South during the US Civil War?

The human cost of the US Civil War was a heavy toll. On a percentage basis, the South lost approximately 20% of its military forces. For the Union, the percentage loss was about 16%. It would seem that because the Union forces were mostly on the offensive and the South on the defensive side of battles, that in pure numbers, the North may have lost more troops. One historian counts a total of 665,000 soldiers killed in total. Other's place the number smaller. None, however, has approximated the deaths below 600,000 men killed in total.


What would a plantation owner in the north do after the civil war?

How did southern slaveholders claim the north benefited from slavery?

They pointed out that the North's textile industry depended on southern cotton Well, they didn't really. Northern states didn't really have slavery much at all. Though they did want more political and military power than the south, so they started the civil war. The civil war actually really wasn't just all about freeing the slaves. Actually, freeing the slaves may have been the last thing on their minds.

How did the north behave toward the south during reconstruction?

The northern people wanted the south to be reconstructed and returned to the Union as soon as possible, for the most part. But many wanted to see the south suffer as much as possible. The south was destroyed, and many innocent people were left destitute. Wiser heads prevailed in Washington, because the north knew that dealing too harshly with the defeated south could cause another war in less than a generation, and the country may be destroyed this time.


What was the main cause for the end of reconstructure?

Actually reconstruction ended with the election of Hayes in 1877. The election was a tie and Hayes made a deal with the committee who decided the presidency. The deal was he would end reconstruction and this decision actually affected policy for the next 100 years. By ending reconstruction early the southern states were able to institute Jim Crow Laws which made discrimination an government policy. Without the early end to reconstruction the south may have been a different place and it took the 1964 Civil Rights act to overcome Jim Crow.


What were some disadvantages the South had in the beginning of the US Civil War?

The question is vague as it asks about the "following" and provides no items to discuss. However, be that as it may, we can explore what were disadvantages of the South when & during the Civil War. The South's disadvantages were: A. Smaller pool of men to fuel the army, as the North had a significantly larger population; B. No formal army existed in the South at the beginning of the war. The North's army was only 16,000 men but it was more than the South's; C. The South had no manufacturing base to supply arms & ammunition and other products the Union army needed. The South had to play catch -up in creating factories; and D. The South had no navy to protect its ports, it had to create one quickly but the North already had large shipyards to build warships.
